I-40 East bound; 60 mph; coming down a 4 to 7% grade through the smokey mountains, North Carolina side; 1st error: "service traction control, reduced engine power, service engine. Approximately 5 minutes later 2nd error: "starting disable, service throttle" lost all power to vehicle. A very dangerous and frightening event having no control of your speed, steering, and braking trying to get off to the side of I-40 with the type of grade, tractor trailer trucks that can not slow down fast enough to let you over. We were very.... very fortunate with our outcome. Had to be towed to a local dealership. Ran diagnostic; error codes P2122, P2138. Dealership replaced the component: Electronic accelerator pedal

Impala

I rented a GM Impala from enterprise rental car in florence, ky on March 28th. The gas pedal became detached from the bracket during normal driving. On March 28 or March 29th. It was reported to enterprise the evening of March 29th when it was discovered. Enterprise rental failed to take any action in a timely manner until the vehicle was returned. This is a safety complaint against GM for the gas pedal being able to fall off and enterprise rental for failure to react to a safety hazard condition. Luckily there was not accident related to this product failure.
